The Booming Trading Market

It was clear from the chat channel that everyone was struggling with food.

They didn't know how to get any.

In fact, during the Novice Protection Period.

Around everyone's camp, there were some low-level wild monsters, which were also the source of food in the early stages.

Because they were family teams, four of them had combat power.

If they fought together, dealing with level one or two monsters would be no problem.

But because they were too scared, or had poor adaptability, they didn't dare to step too far away from the snow, let alone fight those monsters.

At this moment, the chat channel suddenly became chaotic.

"Quick, look, Fang Long of the Three Heroes Guild is selling food again!"

"100g of beast meat for 100 wood or 50 stone. Weapons and equipment are prioritized. Anyone with spare materials, hurry up and trade!"

"Damn... that's too expensive, I don't even have that much in total resources."

"What do you know, upstairs? Do you know how precious food is right now? Are those resources worth more than your own life?"

"That's right, if you don't buy it, someone else will!"

"Don't fight me for it! I'm starving to death!"

Looking at the chat channel, Cao Xing fell into thought.

The food Fang Long was selling was a piece of wild boar meat. Although the price he set was outrageous, it was still snapped up in less than three seconds.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "100g of beast meat selling at such a high price is equivalent to emptying out a camp's resources."

"And the people who traded for the goods, although they can restore a little satiety, will be miserable next."

"They will likely not be able to develop due to insufficient resources."

"Even if they can develop, they will probably fall behind by several days. Once the Novice Protection Period is over, they'll be GG."

Cao Xing checked the records.

This seemed to be Fang Long's 17th time selling food.

It was imaginable how many resources he had accumulated through these trades.

Cao Xing continued to ponder, "The size of a wild boar is similar to a Snow Wolf, which means he doesn't have much meat left."

With that thought, Cao Xing also posted a trade message on the market.

Consignment Item: Fresh Bear Meat (Blue) * 100g, First consumption, Strength +2, Constitution +2

Required Items: Wood * 10, Stone * 5, Iron * 1, Mithril and Elemental Crystals, etc. can be traded in large quantities! Minimum, a limit must be set, each person can only buy once. If you are truly doing charity, otherwise, with a tenfold gap from Fang Long, he exchanges 100g of meat for 100 wood, and then 10 wood for your 100g of bear meat, which means 100g of meat directly exchanges for 1000g of bear meat. Fang Long said he has never met such a foolish and rich consignor in his life. Consignor: Cao Xing Seller's Note: Bear meat that can increase hunger and attributes, with a large inventory, accepting various materials, blueprints, skill books, and equipment.

Then, Cao Xing began to set the prices for various items.

1 Primary Elemental Crystal = 1g Bear Meat.

1 Mithril = 1g Bear Meat.

Equipment Blueprint = 5g ~ 10g Bear Meat.

Skill Book = 5g ~ 10g Bear Meat.

Cao Xing recorded each item, even adding bullets, and all were clearly priced.

At this moment, in the area channel, many survivors who had already built markets suddenly noticed the bear meat being consigned above.

Then, they rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

Huang Qiufeng: "Holy crap! Blue-grade bear meat, and it can even increase attributes!"

"Brothers, hurry to the market and see, someone is selling bear meat that increases attributes!"

Hearing this news, many survivors felt confused.

"What? Meat that increases attributes? How have I never seen such a thing?"

They immediately opened the market and were all shocked by the consignment information.

"Oh my god! It's real!"

"The price is also so cheap, 10 wood can get 100g of bear meat, and one Elemental Crystal can even get a whole piece of bear meat!"

"My god? Is this fake? Is this person doing charity?"

The eyes of these survivors were filled with disbelief.

After all, they all knew how terrifying the price of food had become.

And this was bear meat that increased attributes!

However, they soon learned that it was real.

A survivor named Yang Lin excitedly said, "Holy crap! I got it! I got it!"

"I exchanged 50 stone for a whole piece of bear meat, enough for my whole family to improve their attributes!"

"What?"

When the first survivor successfully traded.

Other survivors immediately began to trade like crazy.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! I succeeded in trading too, 10 pieces of iron for a whole piece of bear meat, this is too awesome!"

"Elemental Crystals, who has Elemental Crystals? One can be exchanged for a whole piece of bear meat, hurry up!"

"I traded a skill book for 5 pieces of bear meat, this is amazing!"

"..."

At this moment, the area channel completely descended into madness.

Survivors who managed to get bear meat were ecstatic.

They all knew how profitable it was to exchange these materials for bear meat.

Some even posted information about the bear meat on the world channel, making survivors not in District 174 extremely envious.

Ed Stafford: "Oh my god, it's bear meat! I've never fought a bear in my life."

Qiu Weichao: "So many attributes added, it's a godsend for the warrior class."

Deguchi Shuichiro: "Baka! Why am I not in District 174? Why hasn't anyone in our District 11451 dropped this kind of bear meat?"

Meanwhile, Cao Xing's screen was also being flooded with frantic trade messages.

Trade Successful: You obtained Iron * 10, you lost Fresh Bear Meat (Blue) * 1

Trade Successful: You obtained Stone * 5, you lost Fresh Bear Meat (Blue) * 100g

Trade Successful: You obtained Soldier Standard Longsword Blueprint (Green) * 1, you lost Fresh Bear Meat (Blue) * 5

Cao Xing set very reasonable prices, allowing even those with very few materials to trade with him.

For a time, almost all survivors in District 174 got the news.

After all, the sooner such an item that could increase attributes was consumed, the safer one would be in this world.

Cao Xing watched his territory's resources grow like crazy!

After a while.

He obtained 5400 Wood, 3200 Stone, 342 Iron, 43 Primary Elemental Crystals, a green blueprint, and 20 Mithril!

These resources would require 12 Polar Humans to mine at full capacity for nearly half a month to gather this much.

And he had only given out a total of 215 pieces of bear meat so far.

Cao Xing still had a full 1000 pieces of bear meat left in his backpack!

At this moment, Cao Xing couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm completely rich now!"

Seeing the materials in his backpack, Cao Xing decided to use them to improve his strength first.

He would upgrade the Bonfire first, then the Lord's Hut.

After that, he would upgrade the Polar Dweller Hut to recruit more Polar Humans to work.

After that, Cao Xing could even build powerful structures like the Primary Elemental Arrow Tower, greatly enhancing the territory's defensive capabilities.

Therefore, Cao Xing stopped trading in the market. He was going to call all the Polar Humans back to prepare for upgrading buildings.

Hearing Cao Xing's call, the Polar Humans put down their work and walked towards the camp.
